Default worst bluff timing? (low content)

Posting about the worst player I've ever seen got me thinking about bad bluffs. Sometimes you just get your hand caught in the cookie jar.

This was a while back before I had refined my preflop play, so excuse the questionable preflop call.

Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (8 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is SB with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (4 SB) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB calls, MP1 calls, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises</font>, Hero folds, <font color="#CC3333">BB 3-bets</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="#CC3333">CO caps</font>, BB calls, MP1 calls.

Turn: (8.50 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, MP1 folds, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB 3-bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO caps</font>, BB calls.

River: (16.50 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB 3-bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO caps</font>, BB calls.

Final Pot: 24.50 BB

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
BB has Qh Ad (full house, queens full of aces).
CO has Tc Kc (straight flush, ace high).
Outcome: CO wins 24.50 BB. </font>


I still laugh to this day knowing what I bluffed into: a made full house, and a gutshot royal flush draw. But even back then I could clearly see this bluff had failed miserably and I bailed at the earliest opportunity.

Yeah, I said this hand was from a while ago. I used to play pretty loose.

Really? I think this is a pretty decent hand in an unraised pot...

It's a small mistake if any. I'm inclined to think it's slightly -EV especially for us post-flop neophytes.
